What is very laggy?

@@Jhonsinh so our Gen 2 is like 4 years old. We are producing Gen 5 units with much faster processors, more Ram, more memory, as well high versions of Android.

is there a T-Style radio for honda civic 2020?

[@LinksWellInc]

We don’t have a civic radio any longer. We made it for years but the sales were near 0.

[@jokmanlowehargrove1705]

I had the same installed on my 2019 Tundra TRD from Long Radio in West Springfield MA, and the SRS light came on, and the screen doesnt turn on at all, sometimes itll still connect and play but screen stays off. The screen also came out of place. They have done software updates on it and the issues continued, now they are going to put in a new one with all updates. Lets see if it works, I dont think so though.

[@gabeharper9793]

I have a 2018 Toyota tundra and my navigation doesn’t work on my cluster.

[@LinksWellInc]

@@gabeharper9793 because it can’t. The communication between the radio and cluster is not able to be retained with our radio.

[@4386mp]

Do you have a retailer in Dallas TX and it’s will fit my 2018 tundra SR5?

[@LinksWellInc]

Yes we have a bunch of dealers out in Texas. We do not manufacture this Gen 2 any longer but we have our Gen 5 and 6 Radio. As well as a LITE version. You can use the find a retailer tab on our website to locate the dealer closest to you for more info, purchase and install. www.linkswellinc.com

[@TexasVet254]

What is the system version code I already have advanced code

[@LinksWellInc]

Try 7211

[@eddyfraguela7027]

where can i buy it and what is the price Thanks Eddy

[@LinksWellInc]

We have a find a retailer tab on our website that will list dealers closest to you by zip code. Or you can purchase online through an online dealer like ADC Mobile, or FNA Automotive. MSRP for the GEN 4 (this Gen 2 model is no longer in production) starts off at $1,295

[@nicolasramirez3774]

Hi I have a tundra and I stay close to riverside I’m interested on getting this stereo installed do you have a number?

[@LinksWellInc]

We do not sell retail or do retail installs. We do have dealers in Riverside though. If you jump on our website you can use the find a dealer tab and it will list them by zip code.

I have a 2021 tundra 1794 edition, will this fit on this model?

[@CarlosDiaz-kt4sb]

Do you retain the vehicle controls like with the stock radio? Meaning lights turn on and off time etc??

[@LinksWellInc]

Yep. We have a whole source to control the factory settings

[@tortelvis1]

Excited about ordering a Gen 4 for my 2016 tundra. I have an oem audio Plus sound system. This should plug right into it correct? Thank you

[@LinksWellInc]

Yep

[@lemutube]

Is there a GEN 4 install video??

[@LinksWellInc]

There isn't. COVID has made getting cars a nightmare. The install is 90% the same. Just a couple different plugs and GEN 4 has to bolts to bolt it back in.

[@GregScavezze]

Multiple questions: 1. Why can't we use the factory nav antenna? 2. Why can't we use the factory mic? 3. No need for a Maestro? If I added maestro, would it help with #2? Thanks!

[@LinksWellInc]

Greg Scavezze 1. the factory Nav antenna is a different plug. So it won’t plug in. 2. The factory mic isn’t set for our radio. The simple way to put it is it isn’t tuned right for the best response. 3. No need for any 3rd party parts because we do all the CANBUS interfacing. I do not know how a Maestro would interact having multiple CANBUS interfaces in the CaNBUS.

[@GregScavezze]

@@LinksWellInc So re: the nav antenna....there is not adapter? Does anyone make one?

[@LinksWellInc]

Greg Scavezze we don’t have one. Like mics though not all Nav antennas are the same so even adapting the plug doesn’t mean it will work. Saying that, we aren’t aware of any adaptors for the Toyota. We have seen one for the Ram but only because one of our customers told us about it.

[@amonplaisir1961]

I have a 2021 sequoia do you all have one that fits and works in that vehicle

[@LinksWellInc]

Possibly. Shoot me an email at [e-mail]

[@TT0973]

Why is the bluetooth mic necessary? What happens to the factory mic?

[@LinksWellInc]

TT0973 the factory mic is non operational. We are an aftermarket radio just like everyone else’s when the rubber meets the road.

This fits a 2020 tundra

Hector maruri our GEN 4 will fit the 2020.

[@anthonyshoulders45]

I just purchased this system for my 2017 Tundra. Do I have to download the Sirius XM app or should it already be interfaced on this system?

So until SiriusXM approves our interface the only way to do SiriusXM on our radio is through the app either downloaded to the radio, or on your phone.

[@dabitout6975]

How good is the GPS system?

[@LinksWellInc]

Depends what Nav system you use and what you mean by good. So you can do the built in iGO Nav which works great all satellite powered. The down side is the mapping won’t auto update because it’s not a data based Nav like Google Maps or Waze. If you use the data maps like Google Waze and so on how well it works will depend how good of WiFi source you have.

[@markthibault6551]

You mentioned. Rca outputs Is there a separate Subwoofer output?? So there are 3 rca outputs?? Also does this fit a 2012 tundra

There are 3 sets of rca's. This system only goes as far back as the 2014.

I can’t get maps to work with phone calls coming in. It takes over the screen when a call comes in and it’s really annoying missing turns because of it. Is there a way to fix this?

[@LinksWellInc]

Unfortunately no, that’s a short side of using Android. Everything is app based and like your phone which ever app is on top is the one that’s in charge. So when in a call, BlueTooth takes over. :/

[@jrcjr65]

I installed this radio but now my airbag light is on. When I reattach the OEM climate control (tundra lo) it goes out. Is there a fix for this?

[@LinksWellInc]

John Comita Jr. check the wires in the plugs. Usually it’s caused by a pin getting bent and not plugging in all the way. Or it could be a plug not plugged in. Be sure all the plugs are plugged in specifically the 2 plugs for the CANBOX.

[@jrcjr65]

LinksWell Inc. just pulled it out again. Everything is plugged everything is plugged in with the wires from the original radio. Everything works except for the airbag light. I do have 2 empty plug connections on the back of the head unit but I could not find any connections for them.

[@jrcjr65]

LinksWell Inc. My truck is a 2019. The unit came with 2 harnesses one labeled 2020. I assumed I’d use the other if that matters.

[@LinksWellInc]

John Comita Jr. Check the pins inside the plugs. They are long and thin and bend easily. Try unplugging all the plug adaptors from the radio and check the pins to see if any of them are bent. That is usually the reason an airbag light is on.

[@jrcjr65]

LinksWell Inc. I unplugged the climate connection checked the pins re connected it, just clicked right in. Rechecked the can bus and the connections were tight. Sigh

[@Jacbknght]

Does this unit not retain the factory microphone?

[@LinksWellInc]

Jacob Knight it doesn’t. Different Bluetooth chips require different microphones. We manufacture all of our radios with the same high quality Bluetooth chip, but unfortunately it doesn’t match the factory mics across the different vehicle manufacturers. Not to mention not all vehicles came equipped with Bluetooth 6 years ago so not every car will have a mic and then even within the years often times the manufacturers will change parts.

[@matthewmessersmith7775]

Is it SiriusXM compatible? If not, what would you recommend that will allow you to use stock satellite antenna? Thanks

[@LinksWellInc]

We are working with SiriusXM in developing a tuner. But currently the only way we can do sat radio is through the app either downloaded to the unit, or downloaded to the phone and accessed via the PhoneLink App.

[@Mr610aguilar]

Can this unit be installed on a 2011 sequoia platinum???

@@LinksWellInc just installed the gen 3 in my 2015 silverado noticed it wont let me download netflix why is that?

[@LinksWellInc]

David Duncan not entirely sure. Try logging onto our website www.linkswellinc.com, then go to “Support” then “T-Style Applications” and download the NetFlix App we have there. On the GEN2 it has to do with the version being to old so we got an older version of the app that would work with the older Android versions. 7.1 should be good to go though. So it is a little strange. Either way give installing the APK from our website a try. If you have any other issues please feel free to email me at [e-mail]
